New Delhi, November 8 (Udaipur Kiran): Ducati has launched the new Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak in India at a starting price of ₹36.17 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as a more performance-focused version of the standard Multistrada V4, this model commands a premium of ₹5 lakh and comes loaded with high-end components and sportier ergonomics tailored for spirited touring.
Powering the motorcycle is the same 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine as the standard model, producing 170 hp at 10,750 rpm and 123 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. It also features Ducati’s advanced cylinder deactivation system, which shuts off the rear cylinder at low speeds for improved efficiency and heat management.
The Pikes Peak variant introduces a Race mode for sharper throttle response and reduced electronic intervention from traction and wheelie control systems. A titanium Akrapovic exhaust comes as standard, enhancing both performance and sound. Suspension duties are handled by Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic suspension, borrowed from the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S, allowing adaptive damping based on the rider’s style.
Visually and dynamically, the bike sets itself apart with a 17-inch front wheel (replacing the standard 19-inch unit), lightweight forged wheels, and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires. The motorcycle also features a single-sided swingarm, offering a sportier stance, while braking is managed by 330 mm front discs with Brembo Stylema calipers and a 280 mm rear disc.
For improved agility, Ducati has revised the chassis geometry, increasing the steering head angle to 25.75 degrees. The ergonomics have been optimized for aggressive riding, with higher and rear-set footpegs and lower, narrower handlebars.
The bike retains the full suite of electronics from the Multistrada V4 S, including the Ducati Vehicle Observer (DVO) system that integrates data from over 70 sensors to refine ABS, traction, and wheelie control. It also includes radar-based safety tech such as Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Blind Spot Detection (BSD).
With its combination of sportbike dynamics and long-distance touring comfort, the 2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak stands as the most performance-oriented adventure tourer in Ducati’s lineup.
